Very inspiring course. I learned lots. I definitely have a new perspective on things. One of the negatives is how the scientific background of some skills is a bit vague.

The pace and amount of content was just about right for a course like this. I felt sometimes that the readings were a bit superfluous, but the videos were great.

great course! Nice to see Marty lecture. The assessments were pretty poorly written though—could really use an editor and someone trained in assessment writing.

Lots of great content split up into manageable chunks. It was good to be able to alter the speed of the videos. I find using the notes feature difficult.

It is very good course, just the subjects needs to be continous, I mean to have a link that is more obvious between one model and the other.

I understand that this was just introductory, but I would have preferred another short essay assignment like the one at the end of week 2.

I loved almost all the information but zoned out a bit on the Big Data part. But that's just my own lack of interest in that kind of topic

Fascinating and whetted my appetite for more. I'm not convinced by the rigour of the assessments but I'm willing to be proven wrong ...

Its a great course and exposes you to your thinking. It often makes you introspect how you feel and how you perceive information.
